The story of Our Lady of Snows:
Aug 4-5 in the year 358 a childless couple in Rome prayed to Mary asking what to do with their great wealth. That night in a dream the Blessed Virgin told them she wanted a church built and she would show them where the church was to be built by covering the area with snow.
